I'm just popping in on this beautiful Sunday afternoon to share a quick and easy one-layer card using Hero Arts stamps. I used all of the Shoes as well as a sentiment from Sending Smiles Message. In my mind, I was going to colour all the shoes after I stamped them but they looked so good in black and white that I was literally afraid to ruin them by adding colour. This isn't to say that they wouldn't have look great in bright, summery colours but I really liked this clean and simple look so I left it. I'm entering into the Hero Arts July Contest for the Summertime theme. Have you played along yet? I hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Super card Emily! Love the shoes in black and white!
This makes me so happy! ...love the black and white!
Thos shoes DO look amazing in black & white. I can tell you, I would have felt the exact same way, BUT I have seen your colouring skills so I know either way this card would be awesome!
:D
Very cool black and white card but I think you should make a coloured version as well, just because your colouring rocks! :)
wonderful....gotta love shoes!
I think this looks great in black and white, especially when all the shoes stamped so perfectly! Sweet card. :)
I love the simplicity of the black & white & single layer, so cute!
Absolutely adorable!!! so cute :)
I am with you....love how the black and white leaves it to your imagination too!
What fun shoes!!!! You should do a b/w vs. color card and see which one wins....
Ooh, those shoes make me happy! I love them left all alone, and the non-colorer in me is especially happy about that move!
Love the idea of keeping them black and white! Those shoes are totally cool!
another fabulous creation! I can learn a thing or two from you about CAS cards!
The shoes look fabulous as a border along the bottom!
This is just perfect, Emily!! Love how you kept it all in black and white, you don't even miss the color here and it does give you a summery feeling!!! Very, very nice!!!
Hugs, Wendy
Striking with just the B&W!
Fun card...
So charming! Love how you rock the CAS...
very cute, emily!
I like that you didnt colour them, I bet it would have looked beautiful but this is more elegant! HUGS
I have to agree, they look great left as line drawings. Love how you've positioned them off the edge of the card too :)
